Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says;
The cotton contract market was excited and
buoyant, with heavy business and sharp ad-
vance on values. The main and only stimulus
Tor tie day was to be found in the estimate of
the crop put forth by the Cotton World, show
ing 6S25, 600 bales, which is so much below ex-
pcctatlon of even some of the most pronounced
bulls as TO create very feverish feeling and
decided alarm among shorts. Covering in con-
sequence proved rapid and liberal. causing an
advance of 22G2l points, closing strong at the
highest figures Of the day the short session
apparently not atTOrding sufficient time for all
hands to protect their engag ements.'
